A Homeschooling Mom’s Best Friend

My sis told me about an inexpensive laminator being sold at Costco since we both have one our wish list. I’ve been sloooowly saving for my dream machine but decided I couldn’t pass up this machine.

I bought it last week and can’t stop using it. It’s my back-to school present from the Headmaster. ; )

The laminating machine is not listed on the Costco website. Be sure to call your store before making a special trip. I tried a Costco on my way home from Mass (in another town) and their shipment of laminators had not arrived.

It is a Purple Cow laminator for $18.XX at Costco. It comes with 100 laminating pouches. The rest of the details can be found here.

I love purchasing items like this from Costco because of their excellent return policy for defective products. No worries though, it’s a gem.

I just recently bought a laminator (and Xhonane said she did too recently). It is a joy I tell you. i can't stop finding things to laminate. that purple cow is a good price. I got mine at walmart for I think $24.xx

I bought one of these a few months ago when I saw how inexpensive it was, though I haven't had a chance to take it out of the box yet. I have a project the girls and I are hoping to get to this coming week though and I can't wait to try it out!

Hi Lena, I'm sharing some of your old posts and enjoying myself! Yes, every homeschool needs a laminator. And every primary school teacher too. My husband is a teacher and we tease him about his laminating. He's always getting our girls to laminate things for his classroom. Recently, he cracked his mobile phone screen and then he got a crack in his car windscreen. The girls yelled out, "Can't you just laminate them, Dad!" It's a big family joke! God bless.

JOY{filled}family

We are a traditional Catholic family striving to live for Jesus Christ in everything we do. We pray to completely surrender our will to His and to become His servants. Our mission of this blog is to share our JOY.

This blog serves as a journal of us making good memories, living the liturgical year, and our spiritual journey.

I desire that my family not be neglected for me to blog, so posts may be irregular. Read more about me here. You are invited to leave a comment or email me anytime. I always try to write back, though it may not be quickly.

**Please ask for permission before using pictures or writing.**

Father, "those things I used to consider gain I have now reappraised as loss in the light of Christ. I have come to rate all as loss in the light of the surpassing knowledge of my Lord Jesus Christ. For His sake I have forfeited everything; I have accounted all else rubbish so that Christ may be my wealth, and I may be in Him" (Phil 3:7-9). "I have been crucified with Christ, and the life I live now is not my own; Christ is living in me" (Gal 2:19-20). Jesus, You gave Your life for me; I give my life for You. Amen.

A Prayer Before Logging onto the Internet

Almighty and eternal God,who created us in Thy imageand bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful,especially in the divine person of Thy Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,grant, we beseech Thee,that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor,during our journeys through the internetwe will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Theeand treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter.Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Oh how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it. Who can assure us that we will be alive tomorrow? Let us listen to the voice of our conscience, to the voice of the royal prophet: “Today if you hear God’s voice, harden not your heart.” Let us not put off for one moment to another what we “should” do, because the next moment is not yet ours!
